mount and umount problem
hello
yesterday while i was writing cd's in k3b when after write i open one file from cd with kaffeine and then kde can't umount the cdrom then i logoff and try but did now work. So i give umount as root. aftert that users can't mount any thing :( i wanna know ? is the******* default ****** permission of /bin/mount and /bin/umount how i can do it with chmod or other that so that all the users can mount and umount my fstab is (should i move the user to users) Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. |
The default ownership of mount and umount is by root.
If you are the only user, I see no reason not to change ownership and permissions of mount and umount if you really want to, but if you're running a network with more than one user I believe it would be a bad idea. Another approach would be to set up sudo (see man sudo) so that you can temporarily do things as root, and then fall back into your normal, and safer, user mode after the actions are completed. That's what I generally do. If you are the only user and want to be able to mount and umount as that normal user, you would do, as root (and assuming here your user name is salahuddin): Code:
chown salahuddin:salahuddin /bin/mount then, still as root: Code:
chmod u+rxw /bin/mount Sometimes a device is reported to still be in a busy state even when you're through with it, and refuses to unmount. In that case you can issue umount -l [device name] and successfully unmount it. The "l" stands for "lazy." (See man umount.) I personally would not change the ownership or permissions on mount and umount, but would use sudo instead. |
ya now it is set to root
but still i can't mount any cdrom or other windows drive as user with kde and also mount /media/c mount /media/cdrom1 no permission :( is there any soloution to enable it for user i have give the command but it is still not working thanx |
